Five Nights at Freddy's is a solid horror movie that delivers to the diehard fans of the franchise and gives an incredibly unique story about the brother of a kidnapped child communicating with spirits in his dreams.

Everything from the animatronics themselves, to the cast and crew, the set design, and the story.

Matthew Lillard also gets his time to shine toward the end of the movie as he plays the classic serial killer, even referencing his performance as Ghostface several times. Which, as well as many other things, provides a satisfying retro feel to the movie.

The only criticism I had with this movie are that, firstly, the animatronic killers themselves aren't made out as actual killers unlike the games. I do get the modern take on them as just kids, but a little more horror and action would improve the movie. Second is that I wish the killer himself got some more time to shine, as when he does appear he provides several satisfying references to previous roles as a modern take on a Ghostface like killer.

Looking forward to the second movie, instead coming out around Christmas, and the production on the anticipated sequel looks promising.

No Through Road is definitely one of my favourite shows that I have ever watched. The mysterious story that it tells is better than any other internet horror show, only being told through four episodes. The way that everything connects back together in the finale is absolutely perfect. It also doesn't include the typical spooky faces jumping at the camera randomly, instead it builds up suspense to eventually show the main killer - who is also incredibly terrifying and haunting. One of the most impressive things about this series is that, especially the first episode, is mostly improvised - which is why the characters feel actually real. Overall, this series is a must-watch and is definitely one of, if not, the best internet horror show ever created.

The Walten Files is an amazing show that has several disturbing moments.

Episode 01 - Company Introductory Tape starts the series off slow. It introduces us to Bunny Smiles Inc, a company which has previously had several mysteries surrounding it. We even get to see one of these gruesome kills toward the end of the episode.

Episode 02 - The Relocate Project revives the series, however. No longer just a short introduction, we see several tapes which all happen at the same time - a contrast to the tapes being all over the place in the prior episode. Once again, we get to see a gruesome kill, even more horrific this time. This episode keeps you hooked onto what will come.

Episode 03 - BunnyFarm brings in a lot more scares. Following the previous episodes, it takes a new direction of a haunted arcade game. This allows to show several haunting deaths, even more disturbing than before. Finally, Episode 04 - CyberFun Tech brings the series in another new direction. Now less centred around spooky scares, instead it begins to tell an interesting story - still with some disturbing moments. It also takes the series away from found footage, instead making it an animated horror series. Overall, the series is very promising and gets me exited for the upcoming episodes.
